“Emma is our doggo's newest best friend. She takes him on long walks and sends lots of pictures of a very happy looking pooch. I am very thankful to have Emma as part of Walter's life. It's so reassuring knowing we've got someone who cares for him like we would.”


About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid. Growing up w dogs at a young age, I can provide dog walking, drops ins, & over night stays too. I am no stranger to accident clean ups either. While studying for my real estate license to become a realtor, I'm looking to make some side hustle and figured why not love on some furry friends? While I have 2 dogs of my own, I have plenty of experience with caring for dogs of all age ranges and breeds. I can provide dog walking, drop ins and overnight stays

About: I have had dogs around for most of my adult life. I raised a small cocker spaniel who had medical issues and required extra attention. Recently we have raised a bernadoodle puppy, with the help of our dog friends! I also share custody of a boxer and Boston terrier. I am a graduate student at the University of Tennessee. I have a very flexible schedule and come throughout the day or evenings as needed! I’m very comfortable caring for pets and always make it a priority to follow any routines or instructions you have in place. I understand how important consistency is for animals, and I’m happy to stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any special care your pet needs. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after while you're away.

About: I have been pet sitting since middle school. Big or small, i can take care of your fur babies! I have experience with all sizes, breeds, ages, and even cats! I myself have a senior pug who requires a special diet as well as medications. My parents have two great Pyrenees puppies, who I often sit for. My aunt has two tiny teacup Shih Tzus, and my sister has three cats who are all on different types of medicated diets, and all have different personalities! All that to say, your baby will be in good hands:) I recently moved to Knoxville for graduate school! My classes are online and asynchronous so my schedule is open and flexible! I’m available really anytime:) As I mentioned before, I do have a senior pug.. and pugs eat everything (lol) so I make sure to keep all door closed and keep things out of reach. I have plenty of experience administering special care such as medications or special diets.

About: Hi there! I’m Deaf, 20 years old female. Ever since I first can remember, I always love to be around animals. Growing up, we have two amazing dogs, Pogo and Molly. (Unfortunately, Molly passed away last year.) Later on, while I was in middle school, we got amazing family cat, Zuzu. We used to take care of goats. (Tons of babies!) I would sometime going to neighbor and take care of their horses. I always took the offer to take care of dogs for neighbor while they are on vacation. I love to meet new animals everyday. There are couples of time where stray pets wander to our yard. I would take most responsibility to take care and make sure they are okay till they find their home. I used to volunteer at shelter animals and take some course for Vet assistant. I’m very flexible and faster to learn. (All we need to do is communicate through phone text or write paper!) I’m available at any points. I’m willing to work from early morning to midnight during weekdays and weekends. I would like if you let me know 3-4 days in advance. I am committed to giving pets my full attention. I would absolutely love walking them and feeding them, and I will make sure they always have fresh water. If you have a brush for dogs or cats, I would be happy to groom them as well. I will ensure they are okay and immediately let you know if anything seems wrong. I am attentive to their behavior, noticing if they need space or are hungry, and I will give them a calm, safe environment if they are nervous or uncomfortable around strangers.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and personalized care I give each pet. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family, because to me, they are! I have experience with everything from energetic puppies who need extra training and playtime to senior dogs who require a little extra patience, gentleness, and medication management. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique needs, routine, and personality to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s belly rubs, walks, or special care, I go the extra mile to make tails wag! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I currently have full availability and do not have other work commitments. This allows me to be highly flexible and fully dedicated to meeting the needs of the pets I care for. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening feedings, I’m able to adapt to any schedule to ensure consistent, attentive, and loving care. I live in an apartment with my own two dogs that are super friendly and eager to play with other dogs. We have two dog play parks to get all the zoomies. I also am happy to dogs to parks or walks around your neighborhood or simply just into the backyard. Whatever your preference I can provide!

About: I stand out for my hands-on experience with senior and sick dogs, offering gentle, attentive care. I’m also known for being dependable, punctual, and trustworthy. I am currently in esthetician school part time, I have all the time to play with & make sure your pup is happy and healthy!!! I follow all instructions and notes from clients intently to ensure a positive, and safe experience in the clients home and for their fur baby!!!

About: Under 25lbs, lower energy, are my own dog’s preference. I have a special place in my heart for geriatric dogs! Would you like your pet loved and cared for in your own home? Do you have multiple pets that do not travel well? I come to them to provide the excellent care I would expect to be given my own! Lots of love and affection 🥰😍 Lots of love, lap time, off-key singing and sweet words for fur babies. (Don't we all need that?) I’ve loved taking care of dogs and cats (and other critters upon request) for friends and neighbors for many years. Services of walking, drop ins, pet taxi, doggy day care and boarding. Enhanced background check, CPR and Rover 101 class. Senior dogs welcome and respected. I have oral, inhaler and insulin shot med experience. Adept at complicated meds, supplements, and feeding schedules. I supervise yard and play time. I gladly provide pictures and notes as often as you would like! Crate time only if needed when I'm working part time, if it is their "safe space/den", or if your pooch will eat my furniture or chew wires. Part time work close by and full time dog sitting, walking, taxi and drop in visits! Care of your pet whether at your home or mine is my pleasure. I follow your pet’s routine as directed. My first concern is for the safely and well being of your pet. Whether it's walking or just a potty break I am probably overprotective.

About: I am a life long pet owner who loves to watch my friend’s and family’s pets when they’re in need. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and bunnies, including fostering a cat for a friend for a few months while she was away. I am a fairly active person, so I like to go on long walks and play with very energetic animals, but I can also appreciate those who just like company or want their own space. Learning the habits, needs, and quirks of each animal is my favorite part of the job, so I can be sure your animal will get the exact kind of care they need to be happy while you’re away😊 I currently have an open schedule so I will have all the time in the world to hang out with your fur children! The only days that are busy for me are Sundays, but I will still have some time available. I will be going back to work after the new year and will be working second shift, so will have the majority of the day available then as well! I like to stick to the routines that your animals are already used to following as to reduce anxiety as much as possible while you’re away! I definitely think it’s important to give extra love and attention to show that I am a friend and am there to take care of them.

“Madason has done a great job walking my pups for the past 2 weeks. She was very flexible with timings, patient and caring for my older, slower dog Colonel. I would highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve taken care of animals of all ages! Puppies, older dogs, dogs that need assistance, energetic dogs, and all kinds of cats! I love them all! I currently work part time fully remote! This means I can give your pets all the attention they need! I am currently in school and have classes during the day on Tuesdays/Thursdays. My number one goal is to have your pets feel as safe with me as they are with you. Keeping their same routine is essential in keeping them safe. I always follow a routine any any other steps to guarantee a safe pet!

About: Vacations shouldn't just be for the pet parents, the pets should get a new fun experience too. This is why I strive to keep in step with your pet's routines whilst also adding some fun enrichment, ample physical activities, and extra helpings of love and attention. In addition to walks; if your dog is a social butterfly, like me, and they frequent the dog parks; let's go! I have a vehicle built for pet field trips/adventures! I have a gift for helping injured or sick animals recover as well , I just haven't had the opportunity to care for a special needs dog yet. That being said, I am willing to learn and follow your routines for them. I am very dedicated to learning more pet care skills. I even rehabbed an injured squirrel for about a year until she returned to the wild. So, I am skilled in helping pets that may need extra help/care or medical issues that require a little more attention. I am also a Licensed Massage and Cupping Therapist, though I am not certified specifically in pet massage, when I do give a dog a massage....They LOVE it! I am also willing to care for pets other than dogs or cats; within reason of course....not sure I am equipped for Lions, Tigers, or Bears... OH MY! So, reach out let's set up a meet & greet; I would love to come out and meet you and your pets to see if we are a good fit! I have most days free. I occasionally do some pick-up work on some nights here and there, however, it would not be for a great deal of hours, and I am able to get home (or to your pets) at a decent time on those evenings. I do prefer to meet both you and your pets first, before taking on a care request, to assess safety for myself and the pet as well as understanding their surroundings. This allows me and you to evaluate if we are a good fit. I believe this is the first step in creating a solid foundation for a safe and fun experience for all involved. Especially, until your pet(s) and I get to know each other better, I would say I am hypervigilant in the beginning; not just for safety precautions but also to understand their routines, needs, communication styles, learning styles, training levels, etc... I am at their side anytime we go out. Even if you have a fenced in backyard I will either be out there playing with them and helping them get in some physical activity or I watch them closely from a window or door. As we learn more about each other, I take great care in developing solid communication with your pet so that they can understand and respond well. The more "simpatíca" we are, the more trust is built, the better responds to commands, which in turn strengthen that foundation of safety. Beyond the pet safety, If I am house sitting for you, I strive to keep your home safe and clean. I will respect and protect your home as if it were mine. Even If I am not house sitting and only doing drop-ins or walks. I will stay observant and keep your home safe as well; let you know if anything seems amiss, grab your mail so no one knows you aren't at home, rotate which rooms lights are on in your house, etc... A safe environment means a safe pet! I am also good at communicating with the pet parents throughout my booked care time via pictures, videos, texts, and calls. My goal is to make sure no pet parents even have to wonder how their pet is doing. I prefer to keep you in the loop so it's not you having to reach out to me. Communication is key for creating the safest most comfortable environment for any pet.

About: I have been around pets of all varieties my entire life! Growing up on a farm, I had the unique opportunity to raise puppies and care for a diverse range of animals, including dogs, cats, kittens, goats, horses, and more. This lifelong exposure has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. My love and experience in caring for my own furbabies will carry over to the care and attention you expect for your own pets. I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and loving environment for every animal I care for. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a cuddly kitten, I ensure each pet receives personalized care and attention. My farm life background and years of hands-on experience make me adept at handling various situations and ensuring the well-being of all animals under my care. Since I do work from home, I am able to make my own schedule, which means I can take my own pet, as well as yours, for plenty of walks and give them plenty of attention! While I do live in an apartment, we have plenty of space to care for a couple more pets in addition to my small dog. With two dog parks onsite and plenty of open green space, there is ample opportunity to give your pets plenty of exercise and stimulation! I am also happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to when caring for them in your home. It is important to me to not only give these babies the best experience possible, but also giving you peace of mind that your pets will be cared for in the best way possible.

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I love playing with dogs and making sure they are comfortable and well taken care of . I’ve had English Setters, Golden retrievers, and Huskies. Although I do not have any dogs at the moment, I am able to help other owners take care of their four legged family members! I will treat your animals just the way you treat them, with kind and loving care. I enjoy taking dogs on on walks and can ensure that they will get the exercise they need and make sure to cater to any special needs your animal may need. I’m very good with dogs having a calm demeanor and environment for them making them feel as comfortable as possible.
